I have an action item to expand on my CP 11, which currently states:
>CP11. Designers of protocols should give serious consideration to
>avoiding such design activities in favor of existing well-established
>protocols such as HTTP that fit well into REST.
I thought about this one and tried a couple of rewordings, and I just
couldn't see a way to say this without getting into a fairly full
description of what HTTP does and saying "if you do this, use HTTP",
but this is going to be quite lengthy, and on further consideration, I
think not cost-effective, so I hereby withdraw the CP11 proposal and
thus (I hope) discharge this action item. -Tim
